This article details the
processes for booking tickets to Graduation in 2018.

When can I book tickets?

We are expecting ticket booking to begin at Easter. All
eligible students will be informed by email before the online booking system is
opened.

Each ceremony will have its own allocated booking opening time so please don’t be concerned if you have a fellow student who has been given a different booking date.

Tickets will be available until June 15 via the online
store. No further tickets will be available after that date to allow for ticket
allocation to take place.

Any remaining tickets will be made available on the day of
the ceremony.

How do I book tickets?

You can book your place for graduation through our online
booking form at the online store, when this goes live.

If you haven't yet done so, you may also wish to check out
our graduation webpage at http://www.port.ac.uk/graduation/ which contains a lot
of useful information and important web links.

Do my two free tickets include me?

No, your ticket is allocated to you as the student and any “guest” tickets are for your guests.

Are children allowed in the ceremony and do I have to pay?

Yes, children are allowed in the ceremony. We do not charge
for children under the age of 12 but they do need a ticket. Children under the
age of 2 (infants) do not need a ticket but we do need to know if you are
bringing an infant due the restrictions on numbers for fire and safety
regulations at the venue.

I want more tickets because I have a large family!

Only your two free and two additional tickets are available
until Monday 4 June, when remaining tickets will be available for purchase
if there are still seats available at the venue.

Tickets will then be available until Friday 15 June when
booking will close to enable us to allocate seating.

Do you send my tickets by post?

No, we retain your tickets which can be collected from
Spinnaker Sports Hall at the designated time prior to the start of your
ceremony.

What time does ticket collection start?

We normally open ticket collection approximately 2 – 2.5 hours before the scheduled start time of your ceremony.

My guest needs specific seating, can you accommodate this?

Yes, we will do our very best to ensure that you and all of your guests’ requirements for specific seating are met.

When you undertake your online booking you will be given
the option to include information about your own and any of your guests
requirements.

We will often call you to confirm exactly what requirements
are needed so that you have the best possible experience on the day.

My guest is in a wheelchair. Does the venue have wheelchair access?

Yes, the Guildhall has wheelchair access and lifts to all
floors. If your guest is in a wheelchair include this on your booking form.

I haven’t been able to get the amount of tickets I need. What can I do?

We may have tickets available on the day of the ceremony.
However, we do also screen the ceremonies as they take place on the Big Screen
in the Portsmouth Guildhall.

Ceremonies are also live streamed via the link on the
University webpages so even if your friends and family are overseas they can
watch the ceremonies as they happen.

We also have a small provision for live streaming in the
Guildhall itself, but NOT in the auditorium. These seats are very limited and
will only be available on the day.
